SHARING THE SEA
Alaska's CDQ Program
A one-hour television program on the Community Development Quota (CDQ)
program in Alaska's Bering Sea. With footage shot along the Bering Sea
coast and offshore, the television program tells the story of how the CDQ
program was initiated, developed, and how it works today.
In the first television broadcast ever on this new program, the viewer will
see archival footage of the way life used to be on the coast of the Bering
Sea, go fishing with villagers from St. Lawrence Island and the Pribilofs,
visit with people in the remote village of Atka in the Aleutian Islands,
travel to Seattle to ship-out on large Bering Sea factory trawlers, visit
Dutch Harbor processors, visit Bristol Bay and Yukon/Kuskokwim Delta
communities, and see the many other aspects of the program at work. The
viewer will hear directly from those who helped start the CDQ program, and
from those who comprise the CDQ program today - village fishermen, college
students, interns, vocational trainees and more.
